URSA: We start shooting at 2000 yards.

[URSA Facilitator]

Are you guys shooting ultra log range using video to spot shots? I've seen some cool camera setups that are live time so you can see the target without having to get out and change targets and what not. Pretty cool tech.

No, we use IRIS hit indicators - for us an array of 4 very bright LED lights. See http://www.rtacprecision.com/i.r.i.s..html (3rd pic down on the left). When you hit the steel the IRIS sensor mounted on the back of the steel transmits a signal to the light array (about 20 yards to the side) and that triggers two pulses (light flashes). VERY easy to see..and shout about. We have two systems in SoCal and 4 in NorCal. Also very cool tech and quite effective.

Ah...not quite sure how this thread turned up becoming a sticky but that basically makes it invisible as being something people will look at when they come to a forum. I basically look right past them after first coming onto a forum and seeing what is in this group of threads. This info will also be updated at least monthly.

Moderator (or whomever moved it to a sticky), please move it back to a regular thread.

Thank you and God bless!

I'm too afraid to come out because I know it will pull me into the next realm of LR shooting. I can't afford more hobbies...

Haha, I haven't even been out with these cats yet, and I'm already bit

I know what you mean.

I know what you mean.

Right?

I just heard from my smith that my BAT EX action is due to come in at the end of the month, about 8 months ahead of schedule, although the 408 CT bolt is still about a year out. So I might have my 50 Cal a lot sooner than I thought. Time to start looking for glass...and order a McMillian Super 50 BR for it.

See the Centerfire Rifles - Manually Operated sub-forum for "URSA NorCal To SoCal Match At 2100 Yards" this is for the 2/28 shoot in SoCal - http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s....php?t=1159769

I'm interested, but I probably won't be able to make a meet until April. I start the 10 day tomorrow for a rifle that should do 2k+, I, however am probably only good out to 100 yards. So, I saw the spreadsheets said "pre novice" I'm just wondering how pre I can be without wasting everyone's time.

Adverse:

"Pre-novice" means the shooter is working on (accumulating targets towards) the first achievement level, Novice. For Novice a shooter needs to score at least 5 hits in 10 consecutive shots on 5 targets during qualifying, record, or achievement rounds.

While practice at the longest distance you can find (in advance) is strongly recommended, its up to the shooter to decide whether they want to try their skills and gear at 2000 yards and beyond. You are most welcome to join us. Our schedules are posted at http://www.unlimitedrange.org/activi...0schedule.html

8 month wait for a $1300 action???

Stiller had one on the shelf when we called...

Folks:

This is a Sticky post to give a brief intro to URSA. Please start other threads.

BTW, the BAT EX is a min $2500 action (almost totally used for .50 BMG class work) - which can be ordered with a CT bolt face.

A BAT EX with 2 bolts (50 BMG & 408 CT) and a few extras was about $3,000. Initially they told me there would be a 1 year wait, but I guess they decide to make a batch a little sooner. The 408 CT bolt is still a ways out, apparently.
